The 30 Day Book Challenge should probably just be called "The 30 Book Challenge.
11. Book from your favorite author:
Persuasion is my favorite book by my favorite author, Jane Austen.
12. Book that is most like your life:
Cheaper by the Dozen by Frank Bunker Gilbreth and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey. It's painful to admit, but it's true.
13. Book whose main character is most like you:
This is another one of those awkward questions. Do I pick a book whose main character is like the me I want to be? Or the me I think I am? Or the me people say I am? When I was little, my grandmother always told me that I reminded her of Meg in Little Women. She was an English teacher, so her authority must carry some weight in this discussion. Then again, I was seven years old. So that may be irrelevant.
14. Book whose main character you want to marry:
This one creeps me out. One can't marry the character in a book. I can't buy into the question. But I suppose Mr. Knightley in Jane Austen's Emma embodies humility, courage, and compassion, traits anyone should value in a spouse.
15. First “chapter book” you can remember reading as a child:
Number the Stars by Lois Lowry.
16. Longest book you’ve read:
Middlemarch by George Eliot is definitely the winner. Tristam Shandy by Laurence Sterne was required for a class and is definitely longer, but I don't honestly remember reading more than part of it, so it doesn't count.
Goodnight, Moon by Margaret Wise Brown.
18. Book you’re most embarrassed to say you like:
Books are like people and decisions. You might change your mind; you mind move on to new ones; you might make some bad choices, but embarrassment is never a good response. Read wisely and well; treasure the good; toss the trash.
20. Book you’ve read the most number of times:
Frankenstein by Mary Shelley is probably catching up with Number The Stars. That's what happens when one takes too many English Lit classes.
What are your answers?
